After enjoying Dr. Warren's 'Principles of Psychotherapy' class, I decided to join this research lab to learn more about her studies of body image and eating disorders. I am especially interested in the multicultural aspect of psychological research. My heritage is Native Alaskan and I am from a small town called Kenai, Alaska. After graduate school, I plan to practice therapy and suicide prevention/education with the Native Alaskan population in particular. Jamie Harnik - I graduated from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in December 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I have worked in the Body Image and Multiculturalism Lab since February 2007. This lab will give me much experience I will use to further my graduate studies, pursuing my PhD in Clinical Psychology in the near future. My interests are cross-cultural psychopathology and ethnicity. Lucy Kamalani - My name is Lucy Kamalani and I am a senior psychology major at UNLV.
